I think I have found the problem: mplayer was compiled with the use flag "3dnowext" and the cpu is an Intel core i7, giving an incompatibility. Recompiling mplayer without the "3dnowext" use flag fix the problem.

Created attachment 300351 [details] Output of "emerge --info" mplayer from recent ebuilds (1.0_rc4_p20120105, 1.0_rc4_p20120109, 1.0_rc4_p20120128) crashes when trying to use keyboard controls, like LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, o, and several others: Player interrupted by signal 4 in module: filter_video - MPlayer crashed by an 'Illegal Instruction'. It usually happens when you run it on a CPU different than the one it was compiled/optimized for. Verify this! - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM. Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash. - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
